Apple 8 manual Recording Takes, To open a take folder, do one of the following

Recording Takes

Logic provides advanced take management facilities. A take is a part (a guitar solo, for example) that is performed and recorded multiple times. You can record several consecutive versions of a solo, and pick the best take, for example. Takes are usually created by recording in Cycle mode, but can also be created by simply recording over existing regions.

Takes also form the basis for comping tasks, where the best performances (from several takes) are compiled into a single “super take.” This comp(ilation) will be used as the final version of your take. Full details on comping are found in the Recording chapter of the Logic user manual.

The preparation for take recording is identical to that for audio recording. No special setup is required, so you can start take recording as you would for any audio recording.

The first take appears as an audio region, as per usual. Once a recording takes place over an existing region (the second pass of a cycle recording ends, and the third cycle begins, or you manually stop recording after the first bar, for example), a take folder is created.

To open a take folder, do one of the following

mClick the disclosure triangle on the upper left corner of a take folder.

mDouble-click the take folder.

Take folder

The selected take will be heard during playback.

The contents of the take folder will be displayed on temporary Arrange track sub lanes—below the take folder itself. The most recently completed (or nearly completed) take is selected by default. The selected take will be heard during playback.
